  1. First Tesla Supercharger with "Magic Dock" CCS adapter successfully charged a R1T. This is fantastic!

    I had the same Rivian issue, but that seems to have been fixed. Of the small numbers of long trips in my R1t, I've had pretty poor luck, 4 chargers at a site, 2 broken and the other two being used is the norm.. So much so that for my planned trip to Yellowstone from Cali this summer I'll be...
  2. First Tesla Supercharger with "Magic Dock" CCS adapter successfully charged a R1T. This is fantastic!

    Considering my batting average for successful CCS is .600, and Tesla charging is 1000, I'll take access to Tesla chargers all day long thank you very much.
  3. Cybertruck didn't need to go ugly early - Autoevolution article

    Because I bought a R1t as a stop gap to my CT.. :), unless the CT is a bust, Hedge your bets! I do find it funny how niave the comments are about the CT, or Tesla in general. Sure... keep betting against Tesla..see how that pans out. ( BTW.. I love my R1T, but it's got at least as many...

    This! I lost about 25% range, but was towing my MS to it new owner :)
  5. Woa Tesla Cybertruck getting 1000-Volt architecture capable of V4 supercharging

    The point of 1 MW charger is so they can charge the ( guessing) 800 to 1000kwh semi battery to 80+% in less than an hour.. Tesla has already proven that they can charge the 75kwh Model 3 at 250kw.. 4 years ago. The charging ratios are actually in the semi favor comparatively, so it should...
  6. If you could be on the CCS or Super Charger network moving forward, which would you choose?

    That's a great point. If 3rd party switches to Tesla it would put a lot of pressure to make the switch by manufacturers My hyper exagerated comparison regarding using the best tool for the job ( charging). Your eating soup, sure you can use a fork, but isn't a spoon a lot better?
  7. If you could be on the CCS or Super Charger network moving forward, which would you choose?

    Seems like a no Brainer. Tesla all the way. Switching to the connector wouldn't stop competition like EA from building out charging infrastructure, it would just (let's all be honest here) change to a much better connector. If you looked at these two coonectors with an unbiased opinion, and...
  8. Boat Show - Show the boats you're towing with your Rivian

    It's not a boat, but it floats and I tow it twice a year.. This year was a little hairy. We were off the ramp due to water being so low and I was really happy to have the amazing 4wd capability of the R1t. It was tough with my old Titan.. 20x15 Dock on axles..

    Helping a buddy put in his solar. Definitely got some looks on the 1 hour drive to his house. As always, towing with this truck is a dream specially when I get to charge up at my buddies house while we are doing the install :)
  12. Trip Report - towing 6000 lbs 25' Airstream trailer from NV over Donner Pass to Grass Valley, CA

    I just pulled my 6k+ boat on a 160mile round trip up to Almanor. Truck did fantastic but I got the same message on way down yesterday. Regen became limited and it said I had to use brakes to slow.. I'm not super impressed with the energy capture coming down the hill. Seems like the efficiency...

  14. R1T breakdown while towing - repair follow-up cause: coolant line bursted/broke, causing battery overheat

    Clarification Yes, I should have clarified. My service provider cleared this up with me, stating that some type of "clip" was not correctly fastened for a coolant line which eventually popped off causing immediate loss of coolant. All hoses were inspected and or replaced and properly...
